7. Security Functions 3 security screening stations at main entrance 1 front desk security/welcoming station 1 security camera monitoring room (Feature not currently in Judicial Building) 1 outside perimeter security deputy (Parking at current Judicial Center not County property)  Parking deck  Courthouse grounds

9. Secure Custody Area Temporary secure custody holding area (basement)  16 holding cells 7 holding cells in current judicial building

10.  Secure custody movement control center ( Feature not in current Judicial Building)  Controls secure entrances inside and outside courthouse  Controls all holding cells within the secure custody holding area  Controls movement of all secure custody elevators 2 large elevators for transporting multiple detainees  Controls all access to holding cell areas adjacent to courtrooms 14 holding cells with 14 attorney conference booths Current facility has 4 holding cells without attorney conference booths Secure Custody Area

12. Other Major Concerns The new courthouse has very long hallways with recesses which cause blind spots. Holding cell procedures in the courtroom will be very different from the current Judicial Building  If Sheriff’s Office is not properly staffed it will take the courtroom deputy out of the courtroom every 15 mins. when detainees are in the holding cells so that detainees can be properly monitored.

13. The new courthouse has only one entrance for employees, attorneys and citizens to enter as opposed to five we currently have.  Although the number of entrances will decrease, having only one entrance will put a tremendous amount of traffic into a single area. Without proper staffing this area will not be able to run efficiently and can pose significant security risks if not properly managed. Other Major Concerns

14. There will be a need for a roving deputies in order to check the holding cells every 15 minutes, as per Sheriff’s Office Policy and be able to transport detainees to and from their holding cells from the basement and to the courtroom and back to the basement.  This deputy will also be utilized to transport detainees to complete DNA and fingerprinting Other Major Concerns

15. Additional 4 level, 900 space parking deck that the Sheriff’s Office will be responsible for calls for service and securing. Other Major Concerns

16. Staffing Request 11 additional deputies will provide adequate staffing to the new courthouse. With 11 deputies the Sheriff’s Office can perform all the functions required to operate the facility efficiently and securely and supports the County’s recently adopted Strategic Plan.

17. If 8 additional deputies were approved to cover the new courthouse, the Sheriff’s Office would be unable to effectively staff the following 3 areas:  Parking deck  Front desk  The security monitoring station Other Scenarios

18.
